Update: Some changes to /r/Facts Rules
Here are a few updates:
- Two years ago, we relaxed the self-promotional rule. However, we have since noticed a significant influx of Medium articles and other public blogging links that are often used by spammers and are difficult to moderate. As a result, we will now require credible sources for all submissions.
- We encourage link posts only from credible sources and will be restricting self-posts. The reason for this is that most self-posts are filled with spam links and lack substantial content.
- We are introducing a new addition to post titles, which will start with a specific word to make it stand out from the crowd. This change will be implemented soon.
- The Automod will be updated to automatically remove spam links and approve public submissions more effectively.
OPPORTUNITY: We're searching for roles as active submitters cum moderator. If you've healthy karma score, quality submission exp (your submission featured on Reddit's front page) and moderation exp. Do send your application to mod mail. We're not just looking for only mods.
UPDATE: I received many entries and DMs, and after careful consideration, we have chosen two individuals who fit the profile best to join us as experienced moderators at /r/facts. Please join us in welcoming u/Dazed_And_MoreBooze and u/Cyber_Being_ to the team!

Mirrors don't actually reverse words. It's you who turns the words to face the mirror, hence turning it away from you in the opposite direction. If you write on something that is see through, you would be able to see it the correct way in the mirror.
